It was Song Lulu who called again.

About three days ago, Song Lulu's mother called for the first time. She called Hou Longtao "Little Hou" affectionately and asked him to come to her house when he was free. After talking about a lot of random things, Song Lulu and her mother called Hou Longtao several times in the past few days.

Although she didn't say it directly, she said implicitly how good Hou Longtao and Song Lulu were in the past, and how Song Lulu thought of him now... Anyone with a discerning ear could tell that she wanted to get back together.

It's not that Hou Longtao didn't consider it.

It doesn't necessarily mean that you can't get back together after breaking up. Although the word "break up" can't be said casually, sometimes when you are angry, you can't guarantee that you will blurt out the words. Afterwards, think calmly, the relationship is hard-won, and it may not be worth breaking up.

But his situation is different from Song Lulu's. The two of them didn't break up because of a quarrel.

He and Song Lulu are not the same kind of people at all. It was a mistake for them to be together in the first place. Two people with different values, barely together, constantly have various conflicts in values, which accumulate bit by bit and will eventually lead to a big explosion.

This is the case with him and Song Lulu. Now calmly thinking, even if they get back together, the current problems seem to be solved, and various conflicts will continue to arise in the future.

So he refused directly.

Unexpectedly, this refusal made Song Lulu and her daughter explode. The good words at the beginning turned into bad words. They made several calls in a row, and they cursed Hou Longtao angrily as soon as they opened their mouths.

Hou Longtao didn't answer and hung up the phone directly. Su Ming smiled on the side. Every family has its own problems. Hou Longtao must have been reborn emotionally and financially after experiencing this.

...

Everyone has emotional problems, and Su Ming himself has too.

After returning from Hong Kong, Su Ming finally met the legendary last gatekeeper boss, Nangong Yan's father, and future father-in-law Nangong Lei.

The old man is as his name suggests, he is decisive and swift in his actions. The first thing he said when they met was, "When are you going to do it?"

Su Ming was dumbfounded at the time.

When did the Nangong family become so easy to talk to?

In the first few levels, Nangong Yan's uncles and aunts looked smiling, but they were all tests in secret. If they were not careful, these old generation would fall into the pit.

It stands to reason that the boss guarding the level must be the most powerful, Su Ming has made N kinds of preparations, and is ready for a bloody battle.

Who knew that it would be so smooth? There was not even a little confrontation, and he passed the level smoothly?

Not only did he pass the level, but the boss guarding the level suddenly turned against him, not only did he not stop him, but he also helped the warriors to push from behind.

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized it.

Speaking of the gatekeeper BOSS, that was a joke. Nangong Lei is her biological father. How could he not want his daughter to be happy? No matter how unreasonable he is, he can't make things difficult for his future son-in-law.

As a father-in-law and mother-in-law, they can only talk about their daughter. This is the same as Su Ming's mother always criticizing Su Ming and praising Nangong Yan. They are good to each other for the sake of their children.

As for the test, it can't be said that there is no test. The previous meeting of several uncles was really a series of tests, and the journey that Nangong Yan and I have gone through was also a test.

It has come to this point.

But I didn't expect that this future father-in-law would speak so directly, which made Su Ming sweat.

"Don't scare the child with what you said." The future mother-in-law rolled her eyes at Nangong Lei, brought a bowl of cut fruits, and said with a smile: "Xiao Su, you young people are all busy with your careers. When to get married is your own business. Although uncle and aunt also hope that you can settle down as soon as possible, they will definitely not interfere."

That being said, Su Ming is not a child, and he can still hear the meaning. The old father-in-law and mother-in-law must hope that he and Nangong Yan's affairs will be settled as soon as possible.

She followed him, quit her job, and invested all her energy in her career. Nangong Yan was almost unreserved, and until now, she is still a girlfriend.

To be honest, girlfriend and boyfriend are extremely special identities. Today's intimate lover may become a stranger overnight, which is not as stable as an ordinary friend relationship.

As parents, of course they will consider their daughter's future.

Both he and Nangong Yan are less than 24 years old, and it is a bit early to get married in Yangchuan City, a second-tier city. However, considering that his career has been rocketing upwards over the past year, Nangong Yan's parents certainly hope that the two of them can settle their affairs one day earlier to give Nangong Yan a guarantee.

This small family dinner today is about this issue.

"Mom and Dad, we agreed to have a meal, why are you talking about this again?" Nangong Yan slightly glared at Nangong Lei.

"Why can't we talk about it when we have a meal?" Nangong Lei said in a deep voice: "Is there anything wrong with talking about family matters when we have a meal together?"

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it." The future mother-in-law tried to smooth things over, stood up and picked up a piece of braised chicken wings for Su Ming, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yan has been able to cook this dish since she was a child, Su Ming, you try it."

"Thank you, Auntie." Su Ming took a bite of the chicken wing and his heart moved.

Nangong Yan almost never mentioned marriage to him, but after spending time together day and night, how could Su Ming not see what she was thinking.

Not mentioning it doesn’t mean not wanting it. Su Ming roughly guessed Nangong Yan’s thoughts. First, she didn’t want to put pressure on herself. Second, this girl had her stubborn and arrogant side. She was willing to give her feelings, and she didn’t want it to become an ‘equivalent exchange’ that had to be reciprocated. She didn’t want to use feelings and giving as bargaining chips.

She should hope that both parties had a tacit understanding. If they loved, they loved. There was no need to talk about it, and she didn’t need to take the initiative to mention anything.

But at this time, Su Ming felt that he should express something.

"Uncle and aunt are right. We have been together for quite a while, and we have almost gotten used to each other. My career is not that big now, but at least I have a career that is on track. It is time to put marriage on the agenda."

This was said to Nangong Yan. After saying this, she smiled at Nangong Lei and his wife: "Uncle and aunt, don't worry. My mother said that I will invite you to dinner next time. The parents of both sides will discuss what to do then."

This is a meeting between kings. In the traditional Chinese sense, this matter can basically be confirmed.

Hearing Su Ming say this, Nangong Yan's mother smiled and picked up another piece of meat for Su Ming. Nangong Lei hummed and raised his glass to shake it at Su Ming: "Drink."
